Keep Cottage Grove Moving Forward

Our primary responsibility is to ensure that all developments, both commercial and residential, are executed thoughtfully and align with the objectives outlined in the city's comprehensive plan for 2040. Growth should not be pursued merely for its own sake. Each project submitted for review by the staff and city council must undergo thorough evaluation to confirm its viability for both the present and future of our city. A significant opportunity lies in the expansion of our business park, which is expected to reduce residential taxes while enhancing the city's commercial tax base. Over the past decade to twelve years, we have made remarkable progress in this regard. Consequently, we have achieved the highest possible rating—AAA Stable Bond Rating—enabling homeowners in Cottage Grove to realize considerable savings on interest for any capital projects requiring bonds.
